Summary

Zimbabwe national cricket team captain, Graeme Cremer is concerned about the lack of runs, especially in the top five, as the team heads to the next stage of the International Cricket Council World Cup qualifier taking place in Harare, Kwekwe and Bulawayo.

After escaping with a point following a rare draw with Scotland in their last Group B match on Monday, Zimbabwe will be looking to rectify batting frailties, as they bid to claim one of the spots at England 2019.

Zimbabwe staggered to 210-all out before staging a spirited fightback with the ball forcing a draw that saw them progressing to the Super Six stage, with three points as did Scotland, while Afghanistan crept through, but will start pointless, after losing to both Zimbabwe and Scotland in their pool.

Cremer said Zimbabwe cannot continue riding their luck and challenged the top five to step up.

Zimbabwe will be looking for at least two wins in the last stage, where they play Ireland, United Arab Emirates and West Indies all in Harare.
